That Briny Dip 1912

Old Cap'n Brown, Old Cap'n Brown,
full of music as he could be,
in that old fishing town
he had won great renown
with his efforts at harmony.
He directed the band
and it surely was grand
at those dances by the shore,
when they hollered again
for his favourite strain
the old Cap'n was bound to roar:

Sailor belay! Get under way!
Grab up your Babe and do that briny dip
Come on and glide
float with the tide
show her how much you love your honey
Rag it some more!
Over the floor!
Look out now don't you slip
when you take your baby out to sea
to that loving melody
rock her to and fro with glee,
Then you'll be in ecstasy
when you do that briny dip.

Sailor belay! Get under way!
Grab up your Babe and do that briny dip
Come on and glide
float with the tide
show her how much you love your honey
Rag it some more!
Over the floor!
Look out now don't you slip
when you take your baby out to sea
to that loving melody
rock her to and fro with glee,
Then you'll be in ecstasy
when you do that briny dip.

When night came round
he could be found,
on his way to the old dance hall,
with a smile on his face
and his fat music case
to direct for the seamen's ball.
And so promptly at eight
for he never was late
he would rap his old baton,
then the sailors would yell
for they knew very well
the tune that he'd sure start on:

Sailor belay! Get under way!
Grab up your Babe and do that briny dip
Come on and glide
float with the tide
show her how much you love your honey
Rag it some more!
Over the floor!
Look out now don't you slip
when you take your baby out to sea
to that loving melody
rock her to and fro with glee,
Then you'll be in ecstasy
when you do that briny dip.

Sailor belay! Get under way!
Grab up your Babe and do that briny dip
Come on and glide
float with the tide
show her how much you love your honey
Rag it some more!
Over the floor!
Look out now don't you slip
when you take your baby out to sea
to that loving melody
rock her to and fro with glee,
Then you'll be in ecstasy
when you do that briny dip.
